Daedalus and Icarus taking to the air

Evening under Lamplight returns to Cambridge 105 with Series 3 of the show. “There is a time … for the evening under lamplight / (The evening with the photograph album)”, and we invite you to attend as we sit together looking through some photograph albums: Greek Myths, with pictures of Daedalus, who took to the air with new skills; Everything that Rises Must Converge, looking at Mindrollingpodcast and at the tales of Mulla Nasrudin, along with a companion story from the Yiddish folk treasury; and Song of Myself, as we begin looking together at Walt Whitman’s great poem from Leaves of Grass.

We invite you to attend to Hermes, or Mercury, the trickster god, but we also see him crossing boundaries, over the edge, earthing and unearthing, and leading us through dreams to the Otherworld “where the time and the tempo fly”. Poems by Emily Dickinson, Robert Graves, and Karen Yelena Olsen, tribute to Levon Helm and mazeltov to Jim Steinman. And, as always, the Kinks, Dylan, and RLS.

Hermes Logios
